STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — No. 9 Penn State on Saturday, a monster matchup with Big Ten and national championship implications, with a major question mark. Penn State will be the first ranked team Michigan has faced. After Penn State, the Wolverines are at Maryland before the traditional regular-season finale against heated rival Ohio State. The Big Ten's penalty would allow Harbaugh to return for the Big Ten championship game and the playoff, if Michigan makes it.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Michigan is not discussing its strategy publicly, and did not provide details of its potential next moves. Michigan and the Big Ten have both confirmed the school was notified of potential discipline from the conference. The NCAA is investigating Michigan, too, but its process is slower and is likely to stretch well past the season. Former Michigan star and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard said in an email response to AP such a situation wouldn't happen in the Southeastern Conference. Michigan could seek a court order from a judge that would put any punishment from the Big Ten on hold.

Connor Stalions, the low-level Michigan football staffer at the center of the probe into impermissible scouting and sign stealing, resigned Friday. The Big Ten, according to Ono, has not begun an investigation regarding the allegations. Ono and athletic director Warde Manuel met with Petitti on Friday, when he was town for the Big Ten field hockey tournament.

This week's initial College Football Playoff rankings, where Michigan was ranked third, stoked coaches’ outrage over the inaction. The call with coaches Wednesday was also regularly scheduled, but it was dominated by talk of the current allegations against Michigan.

Multiple Big Ten schools have found tickets purchased in Stalions' name to their games over the last three seasons.

Political Cartoons View All 1227 ImagesWhat is true is that contract talks between Michigan and Harbaugh have lingered for many months. Harbaugh has denied any knowledge or involvement in impermissible scouting of opponents and said no one has given him a timetable for the probe.

Oregon State and Washington State claim the actions of the Pac-12 and Commissioner George Kliavkoff in response to members announcing their intent to leave the conference in 2024 show those departing schools relinquished their rights to decide the long-term future of the league. “The Pac-12 cannot continue to be paralyzed at such a critical time," Washington State and Oregon State said in a joint statement. Earlier this month, the University of Washington asked to intervene in the case and for the court to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Oregon State and Washington State. A mediation process is also ongoing between Oregon State and Washington State and the 10 departing Pac-12 members. Lastly, according to the filing, Kliavkoff sent a text message to representatives of Oregon State, Washington State, Stanford and Cal following announcements by Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah on Aug. 4 that they were leaving for new conferences stating: “(a)s of today we have 4 board members."

Ticket purchases to football games in the name of a suspended Michigan football staffer who is the focus of an NCAA investigation into an alleged sign-stealing scheme have been found by multiple Big Ten teams.

The NCAA Division I Council on Wednesday approved a smaller window during which football and basketball players can enter their names into the transfer portal and retain immediate eligibility for the following season from 60 to 45 days. Transfer windows for undergraduate athletes were first implemented last year, and the timing of the transfer period is determined on a sport-by-sport basis. In football, there were two windows: a 45-day window starting in December, after the regular season, and a second in the spring. Coaches in that sport were hoping to shorten the window to 30 days, but athletes advocated for 45 and their position was supported by NCAA President Charlie Baker. Graduate transfers have more flexibility and most enter the portal by May 1 for fall sports and July 1 for spring semester.
